Wil je wonen in een prachtige, comfortabele woning die tegelijk duurzaam en energiezuinig is? Met houtskeletbouw van Carpentier combineer je esthetiek met ecologie — de ideale basis voor futureproof bouwen.
Timber-frame construction, or HSB, is a dry building method in which the building's load-bearing structure consists entirely of timber constructions: walls, upper floors and roof. Carpentier produces all these prefab elements with the utmost precision in our own workshop and delivers them to the site as a timber-frame construction kit.
With timber-frame construction, you get a home that uses little energy, feels pleasant to live in and adapts to whatever you have in mind. And because we build dry and fast, you'll be in your new home sooner, with more comfort from day one.
At Carpentier, we have been building with timber for years and we are constantly refining our systems. That way your home doesn't just become sustainable, but exactly as you dreamed it: stylish, economical and ready for the years to come.
A much higher building speed than on a traditional building site. Within a few days you'll already have a wind- and watertight shell.
Excellent thermal insulation and optimal air quality. With timber-frame construction, you save on your energy bill.
Timber does something to people. It makes jaws drop and creates an unrivalled sense of cosiness.
Forestique homes consist of modules that you combine into a fully-fledged home, from compact starter to spacious family house. You start with what you need today and add on as your life demands: an extra bedroom, an office, a living space that expands.
Beautiful, energy-efficient and quickly built.
Every cubic metre of timber keeps over 1 tonne of CO₂ out of the air. By building with timber, you not only shape your dream home, but also help build a healthier planet.

1. Preparatory phase
Before work begins, we work everything out together down to the smallest detail, including the position of the sockets, switches and light points. This is done very easily using our handy app, which provides a quick view of your dream timber home and draws up a quote in an instant. Your building project gets off to a smooth start straight away!
2. Production phase
The timber-frame walls are manufactured with attention to detail in our workshop using biobased and circular materials. Thanks to the app, we can prepare all the elements perfectly using our computer-controlled CNC machines, ensuring that all walls fit together neatly and that fewer mistakes occur on the building site. Moreover, the dry construction method means that the interior finishing and the installation of the timber cladding can be carried out immediately afterwards. This therefore results in considerable time savings.
3. Construction and finishing phase
In just a few days, we assemble these timber-frame walls into a wind- and watertight shell. If you opt for timber cladding, we can install it straight afterwards. Thanks to the invisible fixing, you are assured of a seamless finish. The fact that no nails or screws are visible immediately adds aesthetic value to your timber home.
Building a home in timber may feel new. That's why we're happy to show you how it works. See how the timber structure is installed quickly and carefully.
Timber-frame construction is excellent in terms of fire safety. Thanks to the insulation, non-combustible wall panelling and the predictable burning behaviour of timber (it forms a protective charred layer), modern timber-frame homes amply meet the strict building and fire-safety standards.
In most cases, a timber-frame home performs just as well or even better than traditional construction in the event of fire, and this has no negative impact on your fire insurance.
Timber-frame construction is not automatically cheaper in purchase price. The biggest added value lies in the fast build time and the lower energy demand in the long term.
Because many parts are prepared in advance, the timber structure can be installed quickly. Your home is wind- and watertight sooner, so the further finishing can start more smoothly.
You'll feel the real gain mainly later on. A well-designed timber-frame home is strongly insulated and retains heat efficiently. As a result, you live more comfortably and more energy-efficiently, year after year.
Absolutely. Timber has naturally good insulating properties and contributes to a pleasant indoor climate. Combined with a well-designed build-up, you enjoy warmth, calm and comfort in every season.
Yes. A well-designed timber-frame construction is a solid and durable building method. The timber structure is precisely worked out in advance and installed according to the right technical principles. This gives you a stable home that lasts for generations.
